What is the moral lesson of the chamber of the sea?

Answer 1

In the original Anderson tale- not Gerry Anderson but Hans Christian, it was a sermonizing thing against Race Mixing- The Mermaid- no name in the original ( Hah , here"s an expendable character) makes love to the Viking Prince- and woosh- first she loses her voice- then her life- dissolves into the ocean well ahead of schedule- it was explained that Mermaids live for 300 years in normal circumstances and at the end of this time become foam on the water- for that reason no Mermaid bodies are ever found or fossils recovered- a neat science-fiction touch to explain lack of evidence. It was against Race- or more accurately species-mixing.

Answer 2

"The Chamber of the Sea" by Edwidge Danticat explores themes of loss, familial bonds, and the impact of history on individuals. The moral lesson of the story could be about the complexities of relationships, the enduring power of memory, and the importance of understanding one's roots and heritage.

Answer 3

Pray for the mermaid so she won't die and crumble into sand.
